Well, my life with my RT-N66R has been short lived. I seem to be stuck in recovery mode. I started out with the stock firmware then tried a Tomato build. It started to get really buggy on wireless so I tried going to the latest Merlin build.
At this point I'm at a loss. I'm stuck in recovery mode. I've tried the ASUS recovery tool in Win 8, the web based flash in both Win 8 and Linux Mint and also tftp in linux mint. I can upload the firmware successfully in all cases.
I let the router sit for up to 45 minutes then reboot. It immediately goes back to recovery mode. The only light is the one indicating which port has a connection. Even the power light is off.
Using the recovery tool it goes through the update process and when it's done (~15 minutes or so) it gives a message that it can't find the router on the network.
Using the web based tool it states the upload is successful and will reboot. It never reboots. I click the continue option and it then errors out that no connection can be found to 192.168.1.1.
A 30/30/30 reboot goes right back to recovery mode.
I've tried going back to the stock firmware and have the same issue.
Can anyone give any suggestions?
Thanks!
